Ship's Log, Stardate 11906.23, Captain Ayidee recording.  The plan is almost set to initiate, a plan we will likely not have a chance to backtrack our way through if it fails.  I think the plan is good, but time will tell how good.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::In room with crew, reviewing the plan.::
All: Can anyone think of a worst case scenario we have not prepared for?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Getting caught ::smirks::

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CIV: That's a bit more general than I was hoping for. Any particular way you see us getting caught?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: The only weaknesses of our plan is passing the identity checks. The rest , if we proceed cautiously, is a really safe plan.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the others::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: As long as we make everything look real legit, we shouldn't have a problem.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CIV: The only thing we have to worry about with the identity checks is if our information is indeed reliable.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Well, you cannot ever give anything for granted regarding controls. Especially on this type of banking business.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
ALL: We're only as good as our forgeries.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CTO: Unless they intentionally fed me false information then the information on how the operation runs is reliable.  And they need to keep up front so they can keep consistent.

Host Virak says:
CNS: Not trained in fraud prevention but they look to me like they will hold up.  All I can see going wrong is the "actual owner" showing up at same time and making things confusing.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Virak: I like to think that the real depositors showing up now as unlikely.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
All: Then the next question is who handles what role?  Which basically comes down to who makes the pickup?
CNS/ Virak: Whoever is going to make the pickup can check their location from the support ship.  Nothing we can do about it from down here.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I volunteer for that, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CIV: Very good.  The rest of us will monitor their escort just in case we need a second try.  Extraction will have to be made soon after.
All: The escort will have vehicles.  Do we hope to follow them or post sentries to watch along the route?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: It would be wise to put a tail to that escort in case they change their planned travel route.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CIV: Only risk there would be getting spotted.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Yes, but maybe two teams, one for the first part, one for the rest. that should be enough to minimize being discovered.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
All: Any objections, suggestions or alternate ideas?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Sounds like a security issue.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CNS: For the bank.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CO: I agree with Captain Marek. We put a tail on the escort and switch about halfway through.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
All: All right then.  We need two vehicles, as "common" as we can get.  Should be easy given our budget.  Anything else the task will require?

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CO: Lessons on how to operate the vehicles.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Laughs.::  CTO: That would be a good idea for certain.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: And we will need forged licenses I assume? ::raises an eyebrow::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: That's my big buddy, always thinking.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: We don't need no stinkin' licenses, just don't do anything to get yourself stopped.

Host Virak says:
All: Not sure what sort of vehicles you sort are used to but learning to operate a vehicle shouldn't take too long.  License wouldn't be hard as long as your ID is well forged.  If you wanted them.  License to take a vehicle on an illegal trip?  Yeah, only an issue if you are stopped.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Just to give a bit of legally to our full blown illegal operation ::smiles::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: You'd have made a good boy scout.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
Virak: What sort of vehicles are the most common, and the least likely to be noticed?

Host Virak says:
CTO: Delivery or service vans.  Private transports are less likely to take the side roads they'd take.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CO: I suggest we research the various businesses between the bank and the space port so we can determine what type of delivery or service van we should procure.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
CO: Something that could be expected to be seen in the area.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CTO: Good thinking.  I've been trying to access the protocols for a delivery, but that's beyond my pay grade and far outside of my purview.
OPS: Anything else we might be missing here?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Be very sure to wear the proper clothing and avoid unnecessary contacts with the locals. One misplaced word and all our plan could go down the drain.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I believe we got a decent plan. All we can do now is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Host Virak says:
All: There are so many delivery and service companies.  It wouldn't be hard to get a convincing look.  Just make sure both vehicles are different.  One company wouldn't send 2 trucks to the same area if they could avoid it.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: So, now we need to rent a couple of trucks.  How do we do that?

Host Virak says:
All: Buy if you can.  There are a few places that rent but they would draw attention more than likely.  There are several places to do so.  Pick 2, buy one from each.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Virak: We can do that.  We have funds, should be plenty.
All: Older, almost broken down vehicles. Throw on a coat of paint to match our uniforms, should work fine.  Agree?  We can go a different way if needed.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: Before we get the trucks, we should decide on a good parking place for them.  We shouldn't keep them near us or in a suspicious place.

Host CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good idea.  Should be able to hire a garage.

CTO_LTJG_Q`Ten says:
ALL: So Captain Marek will play the role of our Orion Client. I will drive the first tail vehicle and who drives the second?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: I guess I do.
